 (Above photo credit: kxan.com) From kxan.com: LEON COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) — An inmate escaped from Leon County corrections staff after assaulting a correctional officer on a transport bus and taking off, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice reported. Law enforcement are searching for Gonzalo Lopez, 46, near Highway 7 roughly two miles from Interstate 45. Leon County is roughly three hours northeast of Austin and two hours southeast of Dallas. Lopez is serving a life sentence for capital murder out of Hidalgo County and attempted capital murder out of Webb County.
Law enforcement ask that if you spot Lopez you call 911 and do not approach.

I am placing Lopez in the Fugitives on TV section because the escape has made national news websites. Obviously we can't catch a break from prison escape manhunts right after Casey White was captured.

1 dead and 1 wounded make this a particularly bad escape case. His crimes before he got taken to prison in the first place are almost as bad as Casey Cole-White is suspected of.

Yeah it's not getting the same publicity just yet- probably because they don't have the love interest prison guard angle for the media to exploit.

www.cnn.com/2022/06/03/us/gonzalo-lopez-texas-manhunt/index.htmlSad update to this case. Lopez was shot and killed by police in a gun fight but not before he murdered an innocent family of five, four of whom were children so he could steal the family's truck. An evil SOB of the worst kind and I'm glad he's worm food so he can't hurt anyone else.

May he rot in hell, and my very very very somber thoughts go out to the family. |

You knew he wasn't going to be taken alive if he could help it but for it to end like this? Evil as it gets. |

This is the absolute worst ending to a manhunt we've seen since John Patrick Addis. I fear for what this year's overwhelming spike in violence will do to our national populace.

As if it couldn't get worse, I'm reading some social media posts, granted it's social media, but they're claiming Mark Collins, the grandfather who was killed, was not alerted by police that Lopez had spotted in the area near his cabin since Monday. If he had known Lopez was around, he like any human being I'm sure would have high-tailed it out of there. There was possilby a massive breakdown in communication with police and nearby residents, just weeks after they sat for 40 minutes before going into Robb elementary school. They have to do better.

Sad to say but given some of the stuff we've seen from police the past couple of years, I'd trust social media reports in some cases more then police ones. |
